Hey Soul Fam!

So, for those of you who haven’t been keeping up with my lives or lunar notes, these next few months are going to be emotionally intense AF. These next few months will be extremely triggering in every way for the collective. I’m not going to front; the collective will basically be experiencing a dark night of the soul that will trigger every fucking body. At this point, there will be no running from your darkness or your demons, as everything will be brought up so that you can finally face and release it. The problem with this process is that MANY people are not actually ready for it. A spiritual awakening is very finicky as fuck when it comes to someone’s psyche, and many people are not psychologically ready to handle their awakening. When someone can not handle the shattering of their cognitive dissonance, dissociation happens. While this isn’t necessarily a bad thing at advanced levels, people can get easily lost before mastering themselves. So, we are going to discuss what dissociation is, how it happens, and how to cope with it when it is happening to you.

This week during Thankful Thursday we discussed colorism by way of the Clarke Doll experiments and the documentaries: Dark Girls, Dark Girls 2, and Light Girls. For those of you who do not understand this concept, colorism is prejudice or discrimination against individuals with a dark skin tone, typically among people of the same ethnic or racial group. Yet before we get into that I want to go over a few terms. These terms need to be defined so that their clear and distinct differences can be understood, since many people tend to use these terms interchangeably and some terms may not be known at all. Prejudice is defined as a preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience. Discrimination is defined as the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex. Stereotyping in the context of social psychology, is an over-generalized belief about a particular category of people. It is an expectation that people might have about every person of a particular group. Microaggression is a term used for brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioral or environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative attitudes toward stigmatized or culturally marginalized groups. Lastly, racism is defined as prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized. Racism is also defined as the belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, especially so as to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another.

Last week during Thankful Thursday we discussed the Law of Attraction, vision boards, and goal planning. In keeping with the theme, this week we discussed Affirmations and Life Mapping using various tools. Here, we will be going over various tools and tests that you can take that will give you a better picture as to who you are fundamentally. The psychological tests that we’ll be going over are excellent sources, but only if you are explicitly honest when you are answering the questions. Psychological tests often rely on your absolute honestly so that the results are the most accurate to the individual. So, if you’re ready to learn a little more about yourself and what makes you, you, then read on!

This week during Thankful Thursday we Narcissist. We’ve all dealt with narcissist to some degree and we all carry narcissistic traits within us because in all actuality narcissism is a spectrum. In psychology there’s a scale used to evaluate this called the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI), which was developed by Robert Raskin and Calvin Gall in 1979. The one thing about narcissist though is that they tend to share common character traits, but someone with actual narcissistic personality disorder is rare. Most of the people we encounter on a day to day basis exhibit narcissist traits to some degree but often don’t score high enough in the spectrum to make them fall within the parameters of the disorder.
